The plot matures handsomely; the characters neatly converge and combust; the gags pay off with emotional resonance.
Full of adventure, spectacle, light romance, and the kind of suspense that doesn't require an unpredictable outcome to make your spine tingle.
One of the great movies -- a triumph of storytelling and character development, and a whole new ballgame for computer animation.
The Lawrence of Arabia of bug movies.
What A Bug's Life demonstrates is that when it comes to bugs, the most fun ones to hang out with hang exclusively with the gang at Pixar.
If this movie doesn't make you smile you may not know how.
Cute animated tale with some mild peril and scary bugs.
Extras on the first disc include a full length audio commentary by co-director John Lasseter and a behind-the-scenes featurette on the making of the film.
Promotes the classic American ethos of individualism without seeming preachy or narrow-minded, creating characters we enjoy, a story that's fun and visuals that sparkle.
The whole film is one big wow in Hi-Def.
pure joy--whimsical, funny, and downright entertaining
A Bug's Life [is] sure to endure as a superb children's entertainment. [Blu-ray]
Doesn't merit much enthusiasm or indignation; it just skitters across your consciousness, leaving no traces except a vague depression.
A classic. It's better than the last several Disney animated films. PIXAR has stated they want to be the second successful feature animation studio. They're already there.
The witty dialog and contemporary humor keep things interesting and entertaining for the adults out there. The kids, even younger ones, have plenty to keep them occupied for 96 minutes.
Features some enchanting little insects and a very hummable Randy Newman song, The Time of Your Life.
Of all of Pixar's films, it's the first and thus far only one whose pleasures are almost completely reserved for the diaper set.
